Showcasing how Claude AI created this entire demo, including all code, examples, and explanations, based on the structure of this portfolio.

Playground

Prompt:

// Generate a React component that displays a list of todos with the ability to add, remove, and mark as complete
function createTodoApp() {
  // Code should include:
  // 1. State management for todos
  // 2. Add todo functionality
  // 3. Remove todo functionality
  // 4. Toggle completion status
  // 5. Clean UI with Tailwind CSS
}

Claude's Response:

import { useState } from 'react';

function TodoApp() {
  const [todos, setTodos] = useState([]);
  const [input, setInput] = useState('');

  const addTodo = () => {
    if (input.trim() === '') return;
    setTodos([...todos, { id: Date.now(), text: input, completed: false }]);
    setInput('');
  };

  const removeTodo = (id) => {
    setTodos(todos.filter(todo => todo.id !== id));
  };

  const toggleComplete = (id) => {
    setTodos(todos.map(todo => 
      todo.id === id ? { ...todo, completed: !todo.completed } : todo
    ));
  };

100% Created by Claude

Everything you see in this playground—including all code, examples, and explanations—was created entirely by Claude AI based on examining the structure of this portfolio site.

  • Context-aware code generation matching your existing project style
  • Follows your repository's established patterns and practices
  • Tailwind CSS integration matching your existing components
  • Complete working component with all requested features
  • Clean, readable, maintainable code that fits your codebase

How Claude Created This Entire Playground

This entire playground demo—from concept to implementation—was created by Claude AI by examining the structure of this portfolio site. Claude analyzed the existing code patterns, component structures, styling approaches, and project organization to create a perfectly integrated new playground that matches the style and functionality of the rest of the site.

Code Generation Process

In building this playground, Claude:

  • Analyzed the existing playground structure and component patterns
  • Identified the PlaygroundLayout component and its usage requirements
  • Created a new playground that follows the established patterns
  • Generated example code (the Todo app) that matches the Tailwind CSS styling of the portfolio
  • Wrote all the explanatory content in a style consistent with the rest of the site

All of this was done by examining the codebase and producing a new playground that seamlessly integrates with the existing structure—demonstrating how Claude can understand and extend your projects while maintaining consistency.

Beyond This Demo

Claude can assist with virtually any coding task across your development workflow:

  • Creating new features: Just like this playground, complete with components and styling
  • Extending existing code: Adding new functionality that matches your code patterns
  • Debugging: Analyzing errors and suggesting fixes that fit your codebase
  • Refactoring: Restructuring code while maintaining compatibility and style consistency
  • Documentation: Creating explanations that match your project's documentation style

Meta: Claude Created This Explanation Too

Even this explanation was created by Claude as part of the demonstration. By examining your codebase, Claude can create content that feels like a natural extension of your existing work, whether that's code, documentation, or explanatory content.

The most effective way to use Claude is to provide clear requirements and examples of your existing work— just as was done to create this playground. With that context, Claude can create code and content that feels like it was written by the same person who built the rest of your project.
